<i>Rhodotorula mucilaginosa</i> C2.5t1 Modulates Carotenoid Content and CAR Genes Transcript Levels to Counteract the Pro-Oxidant Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide

In order to contribute to the elucidation of the biological role of carotenoids, the cellular response to hydrogen peroxide was analyzed in the red yeast <i>R. mucilaginosa</i>. For that, the wild strain C2.5t1, that produces &#946;-carotene, torulene, and torularhodin, and the albin...
